Lennon may have done slightly better, he could have done worse, but we still would have lost.

Lennon has rightly gone, now to get rid of some of the dead wood in the squad and build for next year.

Fabian, I understand why you believe getting Lennon out is the right thing although I personally disagree. 

However, your last sentence begs two questions. 

How are we going to get rid of the deadwood when no one else will match some of the insane wages they're on? 

With what will we build for next year? From everything we've seen of the new owners so far (ie can't pay 100K to Liverpool so begged for a deferment to allow Spearing to play) they don't have any more money with which to buy players in. 

I hate to sound so negative about all this but I don't see us doing much of anything in the summer. A few might go out from the development and youth setup but I can't see first team quality players coming in even at L1 level. Not only that but who's going to even want the manager's job when things are still clearly a total mess.

I don't disagree, I cant see us doing better than mid table even in league 1, the likes of holding, clayton, vela, clough. threkeld are going to have to play out of their skins and do a lot of growing up fast for us even to achieve that.

The manager issue may not be that bad, after all there are only so many professional football clubs in the country, but we may not get the quality we want, suspect we will have to gamble on an untried ex-pro.

Holding and Woolery are probably leaving in the summer. Contracts are up and we haven't got the money to compete to sign them.
We know some other players are leaving but the we are stuck with the majority and their wage bills so we can't even "get rid of the dead wood" as you suggest FRP.
The incoming manager is going to have to work with what we have to a large extent.

Disagree completely, we can't afford what we have in league 1 the deadwood will be shifted on as a necessity, either by letting them go on frees with a pay off to supplement any drop in wages, bit like the deal we tried with Mavies to Wednesday or if we are lucky the odd player sale.

we will need the odd player though to replace any outs and any 'frees' coming to the club will demand some signing on fee, so hopefully  that won't be more than woolery and holding would demand so who knows, it's wait and see time.

As a side note be happier to loose clough rather than holding or woolery.

I'm a 157 year old tortoise called George and have followed the Wanderers since I invented the game back in the 19th century.

See, anyone can write bollocks on a forum.

I'll need your birth certificate and a photograph of you at a Bolton match ever year since 1976.

Then I might consider you are real.

That bit is believable.
